                TRIBUTE TO PULASKI COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I rise today to honor and pay 
tribute to the Pulaski County School System for receiving the Public 
Education Achieves in Kentucky Award from the Kentucky School Boards 
Association. The Pulaski County School System has distinguished itself 
through its outstanding efforts to promote gifted and talented 
students.
  The Kentucky School Boards Association's Public Education Achieves in 
Kentucky Award was first awarded in 1997 to bring statewide attention 
to public school programs that enhance the impact that elementary and 
secondary schools have on young people. This award was well earned by 
the members of the Pulaski County School System under the leadership of 
Superintendent Tim Eaton.
  The faculty of the Pulaski County School System have demonstrated 
excellence in the classroom by making a difference in the lives of 
their students. Their commitment towards improving the quality of 
education in Kentucky's schools has proven their roles as educators. 
Furthermore, credit is also due to the Pulaski County School Board for 
implementing the higher standards necessary to meet the demands of 
gifted education.
  I am glad the faculty and administration of the Pulaski County School 
System chose to work and make their home in the Commonwealth of 
Kentucky. It is a source of great pride to call attention to their 
excellence. The citizens of Pulaski County should be privileged to be 
served by such fine professionals, and their example should be followed 
by educators across Kentucky.
